AW: php.net Mirror Network Status Update

Hi,
The answer is not exactly,
the dns is configured "round robin" so when you query it a few times you
will see that the order changes sometimes.
The Logo-thing is normal. Just look at other mirrors, no logo is shown on
the round-robin hosts, just on the mirrors directly.
Greetings
Jörg

Betreff: RE: php.net Mirror Network Status Update

Hi,
I checked DNS records, and see tr.php.net has 2 A records. 95.130.168.33 is
for php.dgn.net.tr (tr2.php.net) and second one is for yours. So all traffic
goes to tr2 miror and you don't see your logo at right top. 

nslookup tr.php.net
Server:  ns2.dgntek.com
Address:  89.107.230.230

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    tr.php.net
Addresses:  95.130.168.33
          160.75.25.15

We are happy to host all Turkish traffic without problem :)

Hi;

After this change, our logo is missed with tr.php.net.

When url is tr1.php.net, i can see the our logo at the right-top.
When url is tr2.php.net, i can see the second mirrors's logo at the
right-top.
When url is tr.php.net, i can't see any logo.

There are 2 mirrors in Turkey as tr1 and tr2. Both mirrors have own logo.
But in the tr.php.net, there is no logo...

Is it a problem or planned?

>     == NEW/REACTIVATED FEATURES ==
>
>     Also starting this month, we'll be reactivating some missing
> features, improving existing things, and adding new stuff to the
> mirroring program.  A few examples:
>
>         * Adding IPv6 support
>         * Reactivating the weekly status email
>         * Improving synchronizing via the RRNs
>         * Adding a monthly email reminder with an automated bounce-checker
>
>     == OTHER POINTS OF NOTE ==
>
>     Some other things going on:
>
>         * Repairing the glitch in the mirroring script showing
> incorrect sponsorship and official status
>         * Miscellaneous additions and improvements made to our backend
> management
>         * Updating the mirroring requirements page at  
> http://php.net/mirroring
>         * Mark Scholten (NL1 and the European RRN) added a new IRC bot
> to the room to notify of list emails
>
>     == SUMMARY ==

>     To go over it all one final time (or to sum it all up for those of

>
>         * We've switched to round-robin networking, rather than static

>         * You're encouraged to join the official IRC channel on EFnet
> at #php.mirrors.
>         * A new tool is now in beta: status.php.net.
>         * OpenSSL will be a requirement for all mirrors.  I'll be
> working with the few maintainers who are missing the extension.
>         * Several features are being introduced, reintroduced, or
improved.
